[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 430031, member: 15"] Is it an open rear diff or Limited Slip Differential (LSD)? If it's an open diff, most gear oils are fine. Just get a 4 liter bottle of castrol gear oil and it will be just fine. My E34 has been running on that for 4 years without any problems. If it's a LSD unit, then you would have to use one that is formulated with additional anti friction modifiers. Red Line is pretty good, heard TORCO is even better and as Loafer mentioned, BMW also has its own LSD oil and it's freaking expensive! Cheers [/QUOTE]
